Converting VIs for use in Linux

Hi everyone,
I have a couple of VIs that simultaneously handle a USRP-2920 and a vesa serial port, where a transmitting device is connected. The idea is to ensure synchronisation, by triggering both devices through labview. 
However, I am in the process of transferring all my work in a linux enviroment. From what I understand, labview works fine in linux, and the USRP should work fine by using the UHD and Gnuradio. However, that will mean that the USRP won't be triggered by labview, and therefore there won't by synchronisation. Is there anyway to overcome this obstacle?

Ha! That is funny!
MPEG was quick on that batch, too. (my first time.)
And smart move with those little cams, following guys with cams does sound dangerous. Reminds me whenever I see shows of guys struggling and whining as they climb Everest or whatever, I always think, "Yea, and what about the cameraman." Those guys must be supermen!
Top of the mornin' to yuh, bud!

  • Can Indesign CS5 convert files for use on Kindle?

    Hello,
    Have any of you converted books for use on Kindle, and if so, how did you do it, and did it go smoothly? Please explain in "dummies" terms, as I find this topic to be very confusing.
    If I convert files to ePub format in Ind. CS5, is this all I need to do to convert it to a format that can be used on a Kindle reader? Would this work for graphics as well as text?
    Internet searches about this gave info for an older version, CS4, and seemed to require using supplemental software to successfully convert to Kindle format.
    Thanks for any advice.
    L

    Yes, going to EPUB and then Kindle seems to be the best route.
    A few suggestions.
    1.       Upgrade to CS6. EPUB capabilities have been dramatically improved.
    2.       Buy some good books EPUB. I suggest these two Liz Castro’s books for a start: http://amzn.to/LI9Q5b and  http://amzn.to/LIa38o
    3.       Visit Liz’s blog: http://www.pigsgourdsandwikis.com/
    4.       Check out Ann Marie Concepcion’s excellent Lynda.com titles. This link will get you a one week trial: http://bit.ly/fcGpiI
    Finally, you need to get at least a beginner’s grasp of HTML and CSS. Without that, quite frankly, you’re screwed.

  • Converting video for use on Sidekick

    Good evening.
    This might not be the right place to post this, but here goes...
    I have a 24" iMac and would like to convert videos for use on my Sidekick LX 2009. The info on the Sidekick says it will play 3GP or MP4 (simple profile). I been trying to convert using VisualHub and HandBrake but to no luck. Any suggestions on how I can do a conversion, or what settings I need in these programs, or some other program to use?
    Thanks for the help.

    Try using MPEG Streamclip to convert the videos; more information on this issue is available in this article.

  • Converting video for use in The Sims 2

    Hi, I have been trying to figure out how to convert video for use in The Sims 2. I have QuickTime Pro, and I am able to export to AVI format, and all I need to know is how to change the resolution. I've looked all through the settings with no luck. Thanks for the help.

  • VIs for using UNIX pipes?

    We're going to start working on an application that will eventually run on
    a UNIX machine, but in the meantime we'll develop on NT, which is what we're
    familiar with. One requirement is to communicate with another process through
    a UNIX pipe. Are there VIs built into the UNIX versions of LabVIEW for this?
    Or do we just use file I/O VIs? Or is there some other way to accomplish
    this?
    If there are VIs built in, where is the documentation? I checked the LabVIEW
    manuals, but I didn't find anything.

    Yes there are VIs for named pipes in UNIX, Open, Close, Read, and Write
    They are under the communication palette. Check the online manual in the comm
    section.

  • Converting mp4 for use in music editor

    I want to mess around with Audacity, but I'm having trouble getting the right file formats. I ripped a cd to iTunes, and it appears to be in mp4 format. This doesn't seem to work with audacity.
    How do I convert either to aac or to mp3? I've come across a "convert to aac" command, but the duplicate appeared as mp4.

    Thanks. "Import" refers to the initial ripping of the CD, right?
    Well... In the preferences settings it refers to the format that will be created when you either rip a track from a CD or when you convert a file using the Advanced > Convert menu feature.
    How do I change format using my existing music files?
    Personally I would re-rip the CD. When the files were converted to mp4 format there was quality loss. AIFF and WAV do not have any quality loss from the original.
    (I assume I start by duplicating the file, if I want to keep a copy of the original.) Do I have to take it out of iTunes--say to the desktop-- then re-import it back in?
    No and no. If you really want to just convert the mp4 first go into your preferences settings and change the Advanced > Importing format to AIFF or WAV (may have moved since I use an old version of iTunes). In iTunes select the mp4 file, then menu item Advanced > Convert To
    A new file in the different format will be created.

  • How to convert files for use in iMovie?

    I have ripped some home movie footage from DVD using mactheripper to my harddrive.
    Coolio.
    Now, how on earth to i get the files into iMovie?
    I'm guessing I need to convert the files somehow but how? Using what?
    Please tell me the procedure, thanks, R

    ... am a mac newbie and...
    .. then, you shouldn't stroll around in the outer rims of the iNet, looking for MTR.. , this app is mostly intended for distracting copy protection from commercial dvds...
    give that app a try:
    DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
    legal, handy, very Mac-like in usage... plus a free trial, you can test, how it works for you....
    just to mention that:
    DVD uses a plyback-format, end-of-the-road, delivery standard.. not meant for further processing.. you will recognize a (dramatic) loss in pic quality..

  • Converting .MTS for use in Final Cut Express, without loosing quality

    I have an external hard drive full of .MTS files from my JVC camcorder that I cannot open with Final Cut Express.
    I bought a piece of conversion software, iSkySoft Video Converter, to convert them into a more accessible format such as .mov or .avi, but they lose their HD quality during the conversion. I have also tried software available through Mac, Voltaic, but this also seems to dilute picture quality.
    In a previous post, I was recommended Clip Wrap, but having downloaded it, it will not let me open my .MTS files to convert in the first place. I have contacted Clip Wrap Support about this, but am yet to hear back.
    I would like suggestions as to how to open these .MTS files in Final Cut, or a piece of conversion software that retains full high definition quality when converting.
    I am not very computer savvy, Im afraid, so can any technical jargon be explained as best as possible please! Just for reference, in case it helps, my camcorder is a JVC GZ-HD10.
    Thank you.

    MarkTrif, if iskysoft isn't working, use mpeg streamclip to try again, it is free. or get another good third party MTS converter like HD Video Converter for Mac, specially designed to convert HD video formats like AVCHD (mts, m2ts), H.264/AVC, MPEG-2 (ts), DivX, HD WMV, MPEG-4 to SD videos like AVI, MPEG, WMV, MP4, DivX, MOV, my friends recommend it to me, it's safe and works pretty well for me. keep the video image quality. If you are interested in it, here is a step by step guide about how to use it

  • Trying to extract Monaco.ttf for use on Linux/Windows

    Hi:
    I use Apple's Monaco font almost exclusively in Terminal.app have resisted using Menlo. I would like to extract the ttf file for this font from the combined dfont file. I've used fondu and DfontSplitter. Both produce the same results (file size), but the resulting .ttf file is unreadable by Linux or Windows. What's up with the TTF file that's contained in the dfont file?
    Someone online suggested I use the free fontforge program to process the dfont file, but it also produces an "invalid" font file.
    Thanks,
    -Clint

    Clint,
    On Ubuntu, launch Software Center and search for Fondu, then install it.
    Get the Monaco.dfont over to your home directory on the Linux box.
    Run the following command in Terminal:
    Fondu Monaco.dfont
    This quietly creates the Monaco.ttf font and a bunch of *.bdf ASCII files.
    Copy the Monaco.ttf into ~/.fonts or /user/share/fonts/truetype/apple/Monaco.ttf depending on local or system use. The apple directory is purely organizational and will need to be created.
    Update: This font created on Linux is not a valid font file under Windows 7.
    Using the above process, I got both vim and LibreOffice on Ubuntu to use the Monaco font.

  • Converting movie for use in FCP - Cont.

    Hi--Thanks for the answers yesterday, but now I have another, or two.
    I used MPEG Streamclip choosing ProRes (LT) to convert an animation file that was 20fps. Opening the ProRes version in QT I see it is still 20fps. Ok, so I guess I should have chosen the frame rate in MPEG. But for reference I made another movie using HDV 720p30, but I see it is still 20fps. Why doesn't it change it to 30fps since it is HDV 720p30? I guess I always need to choose frame rate.
    So using the ProRes (LT) I will choose frame rate 30 and assuming all ProRes codecs are progressive I will uncheck 'Interlace Scaling'.
    Now, in FCP's sequence I will be using these ProRes files of the animation and some footage from my Canon HV20 which is 1080i60. I want to keep the animation at 100%. So is a sequence setting of DVCPRO HD 720p30 the best choice?
    Sorry if this is a bit confusing, but then I am a bit confused.
    Thanks, you all have been great!

    Hi again Elmer,
    looks like that when I tune in you are around too:-)
    yep I am slightly confused, however, try to convert everything into one editing format like ProRes including your HDV material, it appears that you can easily avoid using multiple formats in the timeline. A ProRes timeline should get you sorted.

  • Converting codecs for use with multi-clip

    Hi,
    Not sure if I should post this here or in Compressor so please let me know!
    I have recently completed a three camera shoot. Cam 1 and 2 were Sony pmw-EX1 cameras. Cam 3 was a Sony HD camera which used tape. The files I imported from Cam 1 and 2 are:
    25fps
    1410x1080
    XDCam HD 1080p25
    Pixel Ratio HD 1410x1080
    Camera 3 is exactly the same except that the 'compressor' info is HDV 1080i50 instead of XDCam HD 1080p25.
    Based on all of this, I cannot use Multiclip in FCP because the codecs don't match. So, I thought I would try and convert Camera 3 files using compressor. I found the XDCam compressor settings but it didn't work - the pixel aspect settings in that are still HDV 1080i50. I cannot seem to find a video codec which has the pixel aspect of cam 1 and cam 2. I assume this is relevant?
    Do I need to customise my own settings in Compressor? Or is there another way to convert Cam 3 to the same codec as cam 1 and 2?
    Hope all that makes sense....! Any suggestions are welcome.
    Thanks

  • [SOLVED] Encrypting an external HDD for use on Linux and Windows

    I want to encrypt an external HDD. I will normally use it on Linux, but there is a chance I might need to decrypt it on a windows machine, one day.
    After searching this forum, the wiki and Wikipedia, it seems that TrueCrypt would be the best solution, but it is, unfortunately, deprecated.
    I am not very familiar with encryption, and I've only used cryptsetup, which I think is not compatible with windows.
    I would like the option to decrypt on a windows machine without the need to install any software on it, even if the disk will be mounted as read-only.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Converting movie for use in FCP

    O Nobleissimos!
    I exported some movies from TheMovies animation game and want to optimize their use in FCP. Tho I can open in QT, I can't in FCP. Using MPEG Streamclip I want to export to an appropriate format. What I wind up with from The Movies is:
    Format: H.264. 1280x720, Millions
    AAC, 2 Channels, 44100 kHz
    FPS: 20
    I see my best options for exporting as Apple DVCPRO HD 720p60, Apple HDV 720p30 or Apple HDV 720p60; OR match my Canon HV20's HDV 1080i60, some footage of which I'll be using. Or maybe another codec?
    By using the 720 format in my sequence the animation will be at 100% and I can actually zoom in a bit with my Canon footage creating some flexibility in editing.
    Therefor, for video I think maybe I should use the HDV 720p30.
    For 'sound' I would choose either Auto or 48kHz, probably 48kHz since auto might just keep the 44.1kHz.
    Since the above is progressive I will uncheck 'Interlaced Scaling'.
    If you have any tips, or see a better way, plese post.
    Thanks!
